The science of pathogen transmission via the air with Prof Lidia Morawska - ACIPC conference special
In this third special edition from the 2021 ACIPC Conference, Brett and Martin talk to Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska about the science of air. Lidia was named in Times magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world for helping highlight the airborne spread of COVID-19. Topics includes in this podcast include the science of aerosolisation from the respiratory tract, activities or source that dictate particle size and terminology around droplet and airbourne transmission.
About Lidia:
Professor Lidia Morawska is a Distinguished Professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane. Lidia is an author of over 950 journal papers, book chapters and conference papers and has also been involved at the executive level with a number of relevant national and international professional bodies and has been acting as an advisor to the WHO.
